PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY July 13 2026 to July 19 2026 Monday July 13 Sign of the Times The Hollywood sign was supposed to be a temporary promotional billboard. Yet somehow, the structure installed in 1923 has become an enduring symbol of dreams, reinvention, and possibility. Today, as Venus links with Uranus, we're reminded that relationships, desires, and personal priorities rarely follow straightforward paths. Disruptive/unconventional events could be invitations to more authentic connections that encourage growth, honesty, and exciting possibilities for everyone. Tuesday July 14 The Storming of the Bastille The storming of the Bastille (in 1789), became a powerful symbol of liberation. It marked the start of profound change in France, and inspired freedom movements across the globe. Today's New Moon carries a quieter yet similar message. Sometimes, the barriers that most need dismantling aren't external structures; they're old fears, assumptions, and emotional habits. By creating greater security, trust, and self-belief, we can make space for new possibilities to emerge. Wednesday July 15 The Rosetta Stone When the Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, it provided the key to understanding a language that had been lost for centuries. Suddenly, mysterious symbols began to reveal their meaning. Today, as innovative Uranus links with intuitive Neptune, a similar process is taking place in our lives. Insights emerge from unexpected places, helping us make sense of confusing/uncertain situations. Pay attention to hunches, coincidences, and flashes of inspiration. They hold the key. Thursday July 16 Kissing Ban In 1439, in an attempt to curb the spread of disease, parts of the UK banned kissing. Whether the policy was successful is another matter! Humans have never liked being told how to express their fondness for one another! Today, as Uranian energy continues to build ahead of the innovative planet's weekend link with Pluto, the more tightly we try to manage every outcome, the more we're likely to be surprised. It's about staying curious. The willingness to adapt will prove remarkably liberating. Friday July 17 The World Cup Final This weekend, millions will watch the FIFA World Cup Final, where years of preparation, determination, and teamwork culminate in one unforgettable occasion. Whether or not you're a fan, the event reflects something timeless about the human desire to strive, improve, and achieve the impossible. As innovative Uranus trines with transformative Pluto, progress comes through the willingness to embrace change. Developments that lead to the fulfilment of dreams abound.
